A day after Alexander Levy shot a 62 in the second round at the China Open, he came away with a two-under-par 70 in pelting rain with gusting winds, good enough to maintain a three-stroke lead over Álvaro Quirós entering the final round. Levy, aiming for his first European Tour title, was not nearly as accurate as he was Friday, when he holed a 20-foot putt for eagle while setting a course record at Genzon Golf Club in Shenzhen. Mikko Ilonen was four strokes back in third.
